Then, she remembered what He Xi had just done, and couldn't help but feel surprised and happy, tears welled up in her eyes, "Miss, can you...can you practice now? Where have you been these two days? Did you suffer a lot..."

He Xi was a little surprised by Nanny Chen’s reaction. She thought that her sudden change would make Nanny Chen treat her as a monster.

Her expression softened slightly, and after a moment's deliberation, she gave her a rough description of her experiences over the past two days, and then said, "Mammy, just remember that the former Nalan Hexi is dead, and from now on, I am no longer the useless person who was bullied by others. If anyone dares to bully us again, I will never let them go, even if they are from the Nalan Mansion."

Although she still didn't know whether she could practice, He Xi would never belittle herself or be willing to be a useless waste. If there were no conditions, she would definitely find a way to create the conditions to become stronger.

“I am such a useless old slave. I actually made the young lady suffer so much!” Nanny Chen burst into tears. She kept wiping away her tears and said in a trembling voice, “However, it is so great that the young lady can practice now… So great! I knew that the young lady was not a waste. Madam has long said that the young lady will shine with great brilliance one day… It must be Madam’s spirit in heaven that blesses the young lady, wuwu… Young lady, Nanny is so happy!”

Hexi was still somewhat confused. What did Nanny Chen mean when she said "Nalan Hexi will shine with great brilliance one day"? How could Nanny Chen accept her change so easily

However, He Xi put all these things behind him for the time being and carefully took Nanny Chen's pulse.

"Miss, please don't worry about me. This injury is nothing to a worthless person like me. I've gotten used to it."

Nalan Hexi had never known any medical skills, so how could Nanny Chen not know this? Seeing her taking Nalan Hexi's pulse for a long time with a serious face, she thought she was powerless and hurriedly comforted her: "If you are really worried, I will go to the city tomorrow to find a doctor to prescribe some medicine. Nothing will be wrong. Nanny still wants to see you shine in Jinling Kingdom and get married in style!" Here, doctors are a general term for those second-rate barefoot itinerant doctors who are only patronized by poor people.

He Xi was moved when she heard Mammy's words. She gently put down her wrist and said with a smile, "Mammy, don't worry. Your injury is not serious. I will definitely help you heal it."

Nanny Chen thought He Xi was talking about finding a doctor to treat her, but she didn't know that He Xi had already taken her pulse and was calculating which medicinal herbs and prescriptions to use to treat her.

"Okay, Miss. You've been tired all day, why don't you go to the east wing and have a good rest."

The east wing was originally where housekeeper Li and his mistress lived. Of course, it had now been cleaned up by servants sent by Zhang San and others to do odd jobs.

The villa arranged for Nalan Hexi by the Nalan Mansion was indeed so dilapidated and desolate that it was unbearable to look at.

But the east wing occupied by Butler Li is the only one that is elegantly decorated.

The bed had already been made soft and comfortable, and there were no valuable furnishings in the room, but it was well equipped. There was even a simple and elegant dressing table next to the bed.

He Xi was exhausted after a day of work, and the original owner's body was particularly weak. When he calmed down, he felt pain all over his body. (To be continued)
